Vote
Your agenda doesn't matter
if you don't cast a vote.
It's like whistling in the wind with tones caught in the throat.
Your timetable doesn't matter
if you don't cast a vote.
It's like going to the wharf only to miss the boat.
Your attitude doesn't matter
if you don't cast a vote.
It's like merely erasing a promissory note.
Your conviction doesn't matter
if you don't cast a vote.
It's like running while in place matching a dead man's float.
Your sentiment doesn't matter
if you don't cast a vote.
It's like griping all day long in order to emote.
Your opinion doesn't matter
if you don't cast a vote.
It's like trivial chitchat with nothing to promote.
